Answer:

Roy is 10 years old at present and Joan is 5 years old at present

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> Roy's age

y----> Joan's age

we know that

x=2y ----> equation A

(x+3)+(y+3)=21 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

(2y+3)+(y+3)=21

solve for y

3y+6=21

3y=21-6

3y=15

y=5 years

Find the value of x

x=2y  ----> x=2(5)=10 years

therefore

Roy is 10 years old at present

Joan is 5 years old at present

On the day that a certain celebrity proposes marriage, 252525 people know about it. Each day afterward, the number of people who
Serhud [2]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs are attached.

First of all, the day proposal goes out, 25 people know, so the initial condition is y = 25 at x = 0.

Hence, graph would start at y = 25.

Looking at the graphs, we can eliminate B and D immediately because they start at 50.

Now, it says every day, this number (y) triples, so 1 day after, it would be:

25 * 3 = 75

So, the graph would show x = 1 and y = 75

We can eliminate "C" as it doesn't show 75 at x = 1.

And we look at A and it is correct.

So,

A is the graph of the situation represented.
